ana and Mayor masor lutman entered the grounds at noon followed in other coaches by many distinguished citizens blaine was received with cheers when the party were seated the president of the new england agricultural society geo gep 33 loring introduced blaine who spoke as follows ladies ladles and gentlemen it is pleasant to find ourselves in an assemblage where all bear a name of higher honor than any partisan designation an assemblage in which we meet on the broad plane of american citizenship the agricultural fair is the farmers parliament on this day and on this occasion the most independent class of of citizens speak to the world by word and deed for that great f fundamental un da interest on which the republic rests for its security and its prosperity it has become a trite saying baying that agriculture is the basis 0 of al all sli wealth but the full measure of the statement may be comprehended when we remember that in this year of grace 1884 1881 tho the total value of the product from the farm and flock in the united states state 8 will exceed lo 10 I 1 an amount brought forth rth in a single year vastly in excess of the national debt at its highest point we are not in the habit of considering new england as es especially ecla distin distinguished distinguish guis e for fon or agriculture an ana yet et the annual p product duct from her er soil is s greater greaten eater eaten in value than all the gold taken ke from ro the mines ines of california and aust australia australla I 1 in the chest richest years of their fabulous yield the farmer is a true and always successful miner in the extraction of money from the earth a fact most strikingly shown in the history of california whose splendid march to wealth and power only fairly began when the energies of her people were turned to the production of bread for the world instead of gold the prodigious consumption of 66 of people pyo pleis is brought strikingly before us when we realize how vast a proportion of our aggregate product is used at home and now how small a share is sent abroad the hundred and odd millions of new Englan En glands Ids farm product does not support her own people and they are compelled to exchange the fruits of their thein mechanical industry to an enormous amount annually for the means of so lavishly out poured f from rom the cran uran granaries aries arles of the more fertile west and this fact is but one ot many which show the independence of our people and the vast extent of our internal exchanges the scene seene today today to day dav is enhanced in interest whence when we reflect that throughout the gorgeous autumn which we have just entered will be reproduced in countless communities throughout our land from ocean to ocean from the northern lakes to the southern gulf the richness of the harvest the contentment tent ment and happiness of the people will be shown on fields as fair and by displays as brilliant as those which now nov delight our eyes and gladden our hearts nor will the autumn exhaust the tie inspiring scenes when the chill 1 I t winter on the northern border of the union shall make the southern sun seem genial and welcome our brethren of the cotton region will continue the wondrous story they invite us to witness at the commercial emporium of the south the great triumph of southern agriculture in the production of that single plant which hadre manufactures they have the finest of the world which has enriched the united states beyond the reach of the imagination and has added incalculably to the comfort health and luxury of the human race standing as I 1 do in a fair of the new england states it is an agreeable duty to extend congratulations to the new england farmers on the results of this years labor and on the general se and important fact that at no period in the history of new england husbandry has intelligent labor been blessed with more profitable results than durin duning during
